High pressure process of forming and filling a container

A method of simultaneously forming and filling a container comprising:

• applying a first pressure to a first liquid using a hydraulic intensifier, the hydraulic intensifier including a moveable member having a first surface contacting the first liquid and a second surface contacting a second liquid, the second liquid configured to provide a second pressure on the second surface so that the first pressure is applied to the first liquid by the first surface, the first surface having a smaller area than the second surface, where the first pressure is greater than the second pressure, wherein the first pressure is greater than about 50,000 psi;
• dispensing the first liquid at the first pressure from the hydraulic intensifier to a blow nozzle, the blow nozzle transferring the first liquid at the first pressure into a preform within a mold cavity, the mold cavity defining an internal surface;
• and
• expanding the preform toward the internal surface of the mold cavity using the first liquid to form a resultant container, where the first liquid remains within the container as an end product.

A system for simultaneously forming and filling a container comprising:

• a mold cavity defining an internal surface and configured to accept a preform;
• a hydraulic intensifier configured to receive a first liquid and dispense the first liquid at a first pressure, the hydraulic intensifier including a moveable member having a first surface contacting the first liquid and a second surface contacting a second liquid, the second liquid configured to provide a second pressure on the second surface so that the first pressure is applied to the first liquid by the first surface, the first surface having a first area and the second surface having a second area, wherein the first area is smaller than the second area, wherein a ratio of the second area to the first area is greater than about 10:1, wherein the first pressure is greater than the second pressure;
• and
• a blow nozzle configured to transfer the first liquid at the first pressure into the preform to urge the preform to expand toward the internal surface of the mold cavity and form a resultant container, where the first liquid remains within the container as an end product.
